PEA advises on cost-effective air conditioners amid Thai heat
VocalNeal replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Just realized I made a gaff in my explanation. The controls obviously TRANSFORM the AC to DC to power the control circuits and then the INVERTER converts the DC back to AC to run the compressor. My wife just showed me a new thing where the air conditioner runs on solar. I said good except we only use ours at night. She looked a bit confused. -

How wrong you are. You must have missed the bit where I said “Lots of people on here live in remote villages …” Do try and read what’s said before making false statements. -

Government Promises to Ease Traffic Woes on Rama II Road Creative Common License via Bing Government spokesperson Chai Wacharonke has announced that the chronic traffic issues on Rama II Road will soon be in the past, with all ongoing construction work to be finished by next year.

I did some new thinking about this, my best guess is that memberships would need to be set to around 1 million baht nominal value (transferable perpetual membership with leasing options) and yearly costs to somewhere around 100k for 1000 members. That would net 1 billion for infrastructure and 100 million/year for maintenance. Regarding legal structure, Thai Law provides the "Association" as a form of Jurisdic Person that seems completely appropriate for a golf club.

Clinton says Trump’s threats ‘should scare every American’
G_Money replied to Social Media's topic in World News
You’ve outdone yourself again. Good job. The CIA certainly did its job of brainwashing you. I must admit I’ve never seen brainwashing on the level that you have succumbed to. As much as you enjoy writing you must of been the “go to” guy for writing the SITREPS for the operators in the field. In addition to all the other correspondence required by Langley. They were kind enough to throw you a bone occasionally by letting you out of the office for a few minutes for your photo op with the Taliban as a souvenir. Surprised they let you go with all of your insider knowledge. As much as you love talking about yourself I/we are curious why you haven’t explained why you are no longer part of the CIA. -

Russian Businessman Arrested for Alleged Assault, Illegal Weapons
kwilco replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
"private liking for guns" I think the authorities on SAmui have grossly underestimated the amount of foreigners on Samui who have firearms. In particular they should be looking at ex-military retirees, who settle on military pensions and don't drop their fascination for firearms - many look on it a a "right" I would start by checking gyms for people working without proper documentation. THey just think they can live outside the law. -
Government spokesperson Chai Wacharonke has announced that the chronic traffic issues on Rama II Road will soon be in the past, with all ongoing construction work to be finished by next year. This pledge came after a tense discussion on social media with Bangkok's Move Forward MP, Rukchanok Srinork, about the unbearable traffic conditions on this busy road. Chai countered on Monday, recounting a trip from Hua Hin to Bangkok that took a reasonable two hours and 40 minutes, contradicting claims of constant traffic. Rukchanok responded by accusing Chai of ignoring the real experiences of daily commuters. She referred to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin's infamous bike ride in Chiang Mai as a sign of disconnect from reality. She also challenged Chai to experience the Rama II traffic jams for a month, and called for acknowledgement of the everyday struggles faced by people. In turn, Chai emphasised the government's dedication to solving the traffic problem. According to Thai PBS World, he laid out plans to speed up construction projects that have been on hold for over 50 years. Under a strict rule focused on public safety, construction is now restricted to late-night hours to lessen travel disruptions. Simultaneously, a sudden scaffolding collapse on Rama II Road in Samut Sakhon province has led to an immediate investigation, directed by Department of Highways Director-General Sarawut Songsivilai. A comprehensive safety check of all steel scaffolding along the elevated Motorway 82 (M82) is also planned. Elsewhere, Thailand's transport minister reported the construction on Rama II Road will still cause delays during the Songkran festival. Even though there are efforts to hasten the work, the project completion date is now moved to June 2025. The minister assured contractors would receive compensation to encourage quicker progress.

Heatwave Alert: Thailand Expects 43C Weather and Severe Summer Storms
jonclark replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Just because you haven't experienced or seen what you define as a heatwave, doesn't me other people and parts of thailand have shared that experienced. My in laws who live 20km outside of Kanchanaburi have had to up sticks and move in with us as they simply could not bear the heat any longer and have had temperatures of 40+ for many, many days. And they have been in Thailand far longer than you or I being in their late 60's. They usually take the piss out of me as I am on the one complaining of the heat - nice to turn the tables for once. When we parked up to collect them and returned to the car an hour or so later - the temp in the car was a whopping 53 (obviously it a car and metal so conducts heat) but still I have rarely seen my car thermometer register anything above 40. Splitting hairs as to if this is a heatwave of not, simply ignores the fact that is it very hot. End of. And on that everyone agrees. -

good points, for basic users you get what you pay for, i've had HP, lenovo, acer all pretty similar, for sure check keyboard ans mousepad, and screen size and weight if that's what's important.
